Not enough people are talking about how good the BIOS looks on an OLED screen with those perfect black levels 👌

Some days I wonder if certain UX decisions in open source software were made as a joke or as a malicious contribution by the commercial competitor because they are so puzzling that I just can't believe someone would implement it that way while thinking it's the right choice.

I wish Gmail allowed you to create filters that immediately mark any matching message as spam. There are some messages that always have the same sender name/subject but consistently don't get picked up by Gmail's spam filters no matter how many times you report them.

Plague Tale: Requiem is a really amazing game and I did not expect the story to hit me as hard as games like The Last of Us, but it did. Kudos to @AsoboStudio

I really love The Outer Worlds. It captures the same sort of vibe that Mass Effect had for me with its ship home-base, companion quests, interesting choices during quests, exploring cool locations/towns, and humor.

I have a soft spot for RPGs that offer fun solutions for problems that don't involve firing your gun. (Even if they do involve violence!)
I don't understand how Google has owned Waze for over 8 years now and yet Google Maps is completely unaware of roads that Waze knows to be closed for construction work.

It's kinda dumb that Kubernetes statefulsets don't support volume resizing yet and instead require trickery like this serverfault.com/questions/95…
I don't understand why in this day and age browsing through files on an Android phone connected to a Windows PC still feels about as fluid as browsing an FTP server on a dial up connection.

Watching this is like being shown an alien technology. Nanite is really, really impressive. youtu.be/d1ZnM7CH-v4
It's a bit uncanny now to play an Arkane game and not see the logo turn into a mimic. I also swear some objects in Dishonored 2 sound like mimics. I may be slightly traumatized. 😄
